Answer 1

The snowman is made of 3 spheres (balls) of snow. The diameters, from top to bottom, are 12, 16, 18 inches
Therefore, the radii of the 3 spheres are, respectively, 6, 8, and 9 inches.

The volume of a sphere of radius, r, is given by the formula: V = 4/3 π r3
So, the total volume of snow is the sum of the 3 volumes: V = 4/3 π (63 + 83 + 93)
= 4/3 π (1,457)
=6,099.97
Your answer would be D. 6,099.97
I hope this helps!
